A little over a week after its release on PS4.

Nier: Automata will release worldwide for PC on March 17, Square Enix has announced.

Players who pre-purchase the Nier: Automata Day 1 Edition for PC from any retailer will receive a Machine Mask Accessory, Grimoire Weiss Pod, Cardboard Pod Skin, Retro Grey Pod Skin, and Retro Red Pod Skin. Players who pre-purchase the game on Steam will also receive an exclusive Valve character accessory.

The Day 1 Edition items, via the game's official Twitter account.

Nier: Automata was originally announced at E3 2015. At PSX 2016 it was announced that the game would be coming to PS4 in America on March 7 although it is currently already out in Japan.

Late last month, Square Enix had to update a name of a trash item that can be found in the game after receiving complaints from players in Japan.
